wow... you're using the 75-300 and need more zoom? First try cropping your pictures and see if you can still get decent results... otherwise you're going to have to get better lenses which aren't going to be cheap.

I think if you are going to zoom in and expect good resolution you should raise your shooting pixels way above 3. I was pleased with mine when I tried it. If you don't increase the pixels then if you need to blow up your picture it will seem grainy.

Yes, but you will have to zoom at 15mm or 16mm, Why not take the full frame version, 16-28

Zooming doesn't always work, it depends on what program you're in. Some will zoom in/out if you use your thumb and index finger. Others will do nothing.

I'm not an expert, and this is my first digital camera. I wanted the zoom capability for taking pictures of the kids doing sports, and dance (without flash) Not every picture turns out great as the kids move around, but I have gotten a large number of really good pictures at both soccer games and dance recitals.

You have to play a little with the zoom lever. It is easy to over zoom if you push the lever to far.

the camera generally adjusts to high and low lighting the zoom is also great to get good details on players and the the other in depth actions

if you need to zoom more you will probably need another lens, this is my second D3200 I just bought it for my wife and its a great 24px camera, you have pently after the picture to zoom after and crop you have 24 pixels which is plenty resolution to zoom in photoshop or any other photo manipulation software so i will really recomend this camera to anybody. if you want more info go here... http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Digital-SLR-Cameras/25492/D3200.html?CID=SEM-Q413-Google_DSLR

return it and buy an Imagebox 9MP. It's more expensive, but well worth it. Simple to use and download pictures to computer. I had a Vupoint that didn't work so returned it.

Avoid extra digital zoom. The brighter the light the better. In lower light try evening setting. Do what you can to hold still. I can't remember if there is a setting for stabilization method you can check.

Yes you can zoom in, even when taking video and the image still looks great. Have fun on your trip!

As far as I remember, there's a mode you can take a picture with a short video. Anyway you can play the video you take and print screen to get the image you need later. Yep, you can enable digital zoom in video mode.

I like this camera, but I haven't been able to get a great motion shot yet. I may be doing something wrong. I am not an expert. The zoom is fantastic.

If you get used to the fact that it has offset from pointer and use a large zoom it is possible. But it is not super easy :)

Yes, most photo software will allow you to zoom on the photo. This is not a function of the camera or a feature you get with the camera.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think I have a solution. The way to fix this is to play around with the camera settings. First, set the camera to the 'P' mode on the little wheel that turns. then press menu. Scroll to the right until you come to the 'focus' setting. sroll up to 7.0m, and you shouldn't have that problem anymore. After that's done, scroll over to the REC Mode and make sure its set to 'normal. That should fix it, It was bothering me too ;)
